About Me

I'm Shreya Nayak, a software engineer and certified Scrum Product Owner with a Master's in Applied Data Science from the University of Southern California.

I currently work at AtlasIED, developing intelligent hardware-software ecosystems — like TrojanHorse, a next-gen IP Endpoint featuring AI-driven capabilities. My career spans across engineering, data analytics, and emerging AI product development.

I thrive where systems meet strategy — designing, building, and optimizing products that are technically robust, user-centric, and future-ready.
